"Marc is suggesting that patches expose weaknesses in team rosters and that players need to just man up. He is missing the point; the pro LoL players who are eligible for Worlds have been furiously practicing on the previous patch and many people don’t understand that the specialized skills which LCS players practice don’t really carry over from one patch to the next.

The system should reward those players who have dedicated the most time and energy to preparing for Worlds, but introducing a new patch near the end of the season knocks everyone back to the starting point. LCS player careers are already too short and mid-season patches ratchet up the stress on them and further increase the odds of being cut. This kind of TIMING of patches can force a team to make a roster change rather than trying to coach players through a difficult patch transition. A few weeks of poor performance can end a player’s career and nobody wants to improve player job security more than me. "

best thing ive read all day. Rito keeps fucking around updating the game right after everyone settles in and gets good at something then "HEY GUYS WERE OVERHAULING MAGES AND JUGGERNAUTS AND DRAGON AND AND GL TRYING TO LEARN THE GAME AGAIN"

It's done purely for viewer entertainment, and not a damn second thought is given to the players. Imagine if right before the Finals in Basketball, they suddenly made it so the the hoops are now rotated 90 degrees.
